Hint of the Week

How to avoid an overloaded inbox:

Too many emails in your inbox?  Feeling swamped?  Create folders for messages that relate to the specific projects or topics for ease in searching and reference.  Use meaningful folder names that makes finding a specific email easy.  Use coloured flags (if your email software supports this) to highlight specific follow-up tasks that relate to each message.  And DO put a spam filter or redirecting filter in place to limit unwanted and non-work-related emails from interfering with your attention to work tasks.
